How to Effectively Follow Up

Send an email to the Hiring Manager thanking him for the interview and reiterating the reasons why you think that you are a good match for the position. State what you bring to the table and why you would be an excellent addition to their team.

The reason we suggest sending an email over a written letter is that time is of the essence. They could be making their decision before your snail mail reaches them. Be proactive and think of the urgency of getting that “thank you” to them as soon as possible after the interview.

How to handle the issue of another potential offer

If you are currently employed, you may or may not receive a counter offer from your previous employer.

It is important to know that if you accept a counter offer from your current employer for a higher salary it may backfire down the road; you may be perceived as un-loyal; you have lost their trust; they may keep you around then let you go as soon as they find a replacement.

If I show lots of interests about the position, could they see it as a negative sign?

Showing interest is good.

Provide them with a verbal summary of why you are qualified for the position.
